Holly, Buddy - That'll Be The Day Lyrics






Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money, too
Well, you know you love me, baby
Still you tell me, maybe
That some day, well, I'll be blue

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You say you told me, an' you told me boldly
That someday, well, I'll be blue

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die

Well that'll be the day, ooh hoo
That'll be the day, ooh hoo
That'll be the day, ooh hoo
That'll be the day

Holly, Buddy That'll Be The Day Comments
  1. T.... M....

    R.I.P. Buddy. You were so young and talented. :(

  2. S.... W....

    I love this song, it’s got a very rich history behind it. I just covered it !!

  3. M.... L....

    Wonderful song I Am From Phillipines CANAMA Family.

  4. M.... L....

    Wonderful song

  5. N.... 2....

    My brother is obsessed with 90s music, my other brother is obsessed with today's music, I'm obsessed with 50s and 60s music.

  6. g.... ....

    I remember 1962 our Pure Mathematics master Graham Locke arguing with Michael Herman about whether Buddy Holly was The Late Great Buddy Holly & Graham practically screeching "You're the sort of boy who hangs around coffee bars and Picture! Houses!".

  7. K.... P....

    nowhere boy♥️♥️

  8. J.... M....

    One of my all time favorites.

  9. A.... H....

    Mark my words I will time travel and test two scenarios: preventing the crash, and if I told him his fate and asked him to travel with me to the future to make music (so people still assumed he died on the crash & history would be as normal). Would Buddy still be a hit today? We'll find out

  10. w.... ....

    Buddy holly songs still been played going into 2020 👌👌👌👍👍anyone else still listening 2019👍

  11. S.... A....

    Buddy Holly would of been bigger than Elvis if he didn't die so young

  12. F.... D....

    This song always makes me think twice about not saying bye properly to my Boyfriend who is a pilot every time he leaves the house for a flight. Always done that and I think it is also because of how Buddy Holly died.

  13. P.... J....

    2019. The music lives on

  14. J.... R....

    cheers and have a merry Christmas 2019

  17. R.... p....

    So the Beatles ripped of Buddy Holly?

    R.... p....

  18. L.... B....

  24. S.... F....

    I was blown away by Buddy Holly as a child. I bought a cassette of his and later learned we share the same birthday. Magical man who changed the course of music.

  38. P.... D....

  43. J.... N....

    I heard Merle Haggard say he gave his seat up on that plane ride and he took a bus instead. everybody died on that plane. Very sad story.

  44. K.... M....

    This is almost as good as shreksophone

    C.... V....

    Now before I start a war on replies this is a


    JOKE

  46. J.... F....

    My buddy Jim Dinkins died a year ago today. He loved Buddy Holly. He was only 26

  47. M.... A....

    Had the best of both worlds a dad that lived classic country ( real country music ) a mom who loved 50 & 60's rock n roll . Needless to say I have a lot of great music to choose from .

  48. l.... w....

    my husband just went to be with his favorite artist after 54 years of marriage he did leave me the day he died

  49. A.... M....

    Who else is listening to this because buddy holly brought them here

  50. K.... S....

    🎤 🎤 🎤 💕 💕 💕

  51. T.... A....

    My dad brought me here

  52. S.... 1....

    R. I. P BUDDY HOLLY, RITCHIE VALENS, BIG BOPPER, AND THE PILOT ROGER PETERSON

  53. N.... ....

    Buddy not only could sing but could play the hell out of a guitar.

  54. Z.... ....

    O.G. rock & roll is what you're listening to now. Buddy Holly was a punk rocker before his time.

  55. n.... ....

    Spotify brought me here. For some reason they have a terrible alternative version that I’ve never heard before and never want to hear again!

  56. K.... S....

    Love buddy holly.that was the day music died

  57. G.... K....

    This was released May 27, 1957 (62 years ago yesterday). Incidentally, that was a Monday, but it wasn't Memorial Day back then.

  58. A.... R....

    Eerie question : Did the song "that'll be the day" fore shadow
    Buddy Holly's death?

  59. R.... W....

    Without buddy holly, we may never get the Beatles

  60. R.... S....

    Warning! This music has a beat and lyrics! What a concept!

  61. H.... t....

    One of the greatest American rock and roll artists of all times. Gotta love those glasses

  62. M.... ....

    So pure, so clean, awesome!

  63. E.... J....

    Buddy Holly was one of the best. It's so sad his life ended so soon.

  64. j.... ....

    Mafia 2 Anyone

  65. D.... M....

    I love it when a girl gives me all her turtle dovin'

  66. Z.... ....

    Mafia 2 brought me here

  67. M.... ....

    Rest in peace, buddy.

  68. A.... Y....

    Genius, genius, GENIUS!! First white guy to play Harlems Apollo theater. They laughed at him, till he started playing. Brought down the house!

    C.... B....

    I'm pretty sure Dion & the Belmonts sang there first because in the documentary Dion dimucci did he said he introduced buddy and the crickets to the apollo

    C.... B....

    @Saints Fan54 Wrong my friend. Google it

    C.... B....

    Clyde Barrow That’s a great story

  75. E.... L....

    The Hollies named their band as a tribute to buddy Holly not the Beatles in answer to a mistaken comment made on this platform and nevertheless the rock n roll pioneers and innovators hugely influenced the British invasion that saw the likes of the beatles The Searchers The Hollies The Mersybeats The Dave Clark Five and Gerry and the pacemakers to name a few

  76. D.... H....

    And you wrote your own songs..love it

  77. D.... H....

    Still missing you Buddy...but your music still makes me feel good..You were always true to your music..You would of loved the Beatles music..they learned music from you...miss you Buddy
